Bengaluru, Jun 6: Health minister Sriramulu, warned private hospitals to provide treatment for coronavirus infection at the rate fixed by the government. He said that the government is ready to take strict action against private hospitals found to be charging more.
Sriramulu said that there are vacant beds in government hospitals. “But many, who do not have information about these things, go to private hospitals for treatment. There are allegations that they demand excessive charges. I will hold discussions on this issue in a couple of days,” he promised.
He said that the government will not allow private hospitals to indulge in money-making business in the name of COVID-19. He also stated that the people not having BPL cards also will be provided with treatment.
On the issue of choosing candidate for Rajya Sabha election, he said that state BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel, chief minister B S Yediyurappa, and core committee members will decide on the issue. He said that the issue of fielding two candidates will also be discussed and decided today. "Our leaders will undertake the work of assuaging the feelings of disgruntled leaders and everyone is bound by the decisions taken by the top leaders," he clarified.
